About Open Camera
Open Camera is a photography application created by Mark Harman and identified by the package net.sourceforge.opencamera. It gives Android users a straightforward camera tool that stays out of the way while shooting.
Who builds it and where it sits
The app belongs to the photography category and comes from developer Mark Harman, published under the package name net.sourceforge.opencamera. That identifier is what your handset uses to recognise the program, so it is the detail to confirm when installing an update or comparing copies. This listing does not provide a content rating.
Device compatibility and supported Android versions
The build requires Android 6.0+ or newer. Handsets running a more recent release than that floor should install and run the app without difficulty, while anything below the stated minimum falls outside the range covered here. Because the demand is modest, older phones still in use stand a fair chance of working, though day-to-day responsiveness will depend on the hardware and camera sensors built into your particular device.
Storage footprint of the installer
At 4.7 MB the installer is small by the standards of modern camera software. That number describes the file itself rather than the space the app occupies after installation, which will be a little greater once the system unpacks it. The compact footprint leaves plenty of room on handsets with limited internal storage for the images and clips you capture.
Current release information
The latest release is 1.56.2, published on 2026-05-27. If you already have an older build, that is the number to compare against your installed copy to see whether an update is available. The package name remains unchanged across releases, so a newer build replaces the existing installation instead of appearing as a separate app on your home screen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this app install on my phone?
Compare your device's operating system against the requirement stated above. Handsets meeting that floor should install the package net.sourceforge.opencamera without difficulty, while devices running an older release sit outside the compatibility range given in this listing. Beyond the system version, the listing sets out no additional hardware prerequisites, so your camera hardware and general performance will determine how smoothly it behaves once installed.
How much storage should I set aside?
The installer for the current build is 4.7 MB, which is modest for camera software. Reserve that space for the downloaded file, plus a somewhat larger amount for the unpacked installation itself, since the app occupies more room once it is set up on your device. Photos and videos you capture afterwards are stored separately and will consume additional space according to how much you shoot.
Which version is listed here?
The current release shown for this listing is 1.56.2, published on 2026-05-27. That is the version number to match against the one displayed on your installed copy if you want to know whether your build is the same as the one described on this page. The version string should be read exactly as written, including every part of it.
